The thing, here it is:
I bought a PS3 yesterday.
It came bundled with several games, and this brings a touch of some feeling somewhere between "humbling" and "thought-provoking": so far, the games I've played the most and enjoyed tremendously are ones I would not have bought if they didn't come bundled with the console.
Need For Speed: Undercover is a racing game. The rest is largely irrelevant, so far - sure, there's a plot line about you being an undercover cop infiltrating street racing gangs to get information about their drugrunning and blah blah blah RACING GAME, OKAY. YOU RACE CARS AND DRIVE VERY, VERY DANGEROUSLY AND IT'S OKAY BECAUSE YOUR CAR IS PIXELS AND SO IS EVERYONE ELSE'S. B+
Bad Company: Battlefield is a first person shooter with tactical combat involving various combinations of blowing things up in different ways and repairing some other things and assaulting and/or using defensive positions to fight. All well and good, but the other thing about it is that it's legitimately funny. There is snark, there is wit, there is two of the other guys in your squad randomly playing rock-paper-scissors while the sergeant talks to command for orders. It's just really entertaining. A
Bad Company is the particular surprise. See, I know I like racing games occasionally. I have to be in the right mood for them, but I like them. I wouldn't have expected Bad Company to be something I'd particularly enjoy at all, let alone something that would make me leave Assassin's Creed II, which I actually bought on purpose, largely unplayed.
